Metamorphosis

Chapter 2 : Change

Abbe,at home, sat and examine the amulet more. With his curiosity, he put it on. An ominous feeling coursed through him which gave him shivers but he ignored it.The next day, Abbe was anxious to see Lucia again so he took a long shot and walked back to the place he met her. He waited there for minutes upon minutes.Just when he gave up and got ready to go back home, he heard the same adorable giggle from yesterday. He quickly turned around and saw Lucia....but with someone else. She was laughing and smiling with that guy. Two things entered into Abbe. Two things he wasn't ready for. Jealousy and Anger. He saw Lucia hug the guy and said their goodbyes. She glimpsed over her shoulder and saw Abbe. She smiled and approached him.

 "Hey Abbe. Never thought I'd see you again"

 " Hey Lucia, I'm fine. It's just a coincidence" 

They started chatting up on random subjects but deep inside it was eating Abbe up that she could no longer be his...Maybe she was never his in the first place... It was getting late and they had decided to leave but not without sharing info like numbers and accounts for social networks."Alright. It's getting dark maybe we can chat later" she suggested. "No problem" Abbe responded. "Bye Lucia","Bye Abbe. Nice amulet by the way"."Thanks" They parted ways. Abbe on his way home, was confronted by a man who pulled out a knife on him. "Give me all of your damn money or else...slice and dice". Abbe wasn't scared about this. Abbe had a strange feeling in him. He didn't know what it was. "Didn't you hear me...I said money, now" Abbe felt the feeling stronger this time. Abbe looked at the man and it struck him...That was the guy Lucia was talking to."Screw it. You're taking too long. I'll just take it and get rid of you, permanently" Something then snapped in Abbe. Abbe ran up to the man, grabbed his hand and broke his fingers. The man screamed in pain and dropped the knife. Abbe caught it and stabbed him in the leg then broke his arm. The man in excruciating pain, fell to the ground and looked at Abbe. Something was different. That wasn't the man he was going to rob a while ago. Abbe then raised his fist and kept punching the man. Blood painted Abbe's fist and Abbe continued. This power was new to Abbe. It was....good. Abbe then took the knife and jabbed it into the man's Adam's apple. He then hold the man's neck and broke it. Abbe stood there looking at his hands and fascinated at his new found strength. He then shoved his hand in his pocket and hurried home....It has began...
